			<h1>Add GIF Into a Still Image</h1>
			<div class="entry">

				<p>Do you want to decorate a still image with an animated GIF? Here is how to do it fast and for free :)</p>
				<span id="more-48"></span>
				<a href="https://i.imgur.com/KOXOBiN.gif"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/KOXOBiN.gif" style="width:30%" /></a>
				
				<h2>Open your images</h2>
				<p>First, go to <a href="../../index.html">Photopea.com</a>. Press File - Open, and open your still image. Then, press File - Open again, and open your GIF. You should see two panels ("tabs") in Photopea.</p>

				<h3>Duplicate layers</h3>
				<p>Now, we need to copy all layers of the second document (frames of animation) into the first document (still image). Look into the Layers panel (bottom right): there is a folder (named "animated" in our case), that contains all frame layers.</p>
				
				<p>Now, right-click that folder (in Layers panel) and choose Duplicate Into.</p>
				
				<a href="https://i.imgur.com/4w3KLAR.png"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dOPGME6.png" style="width:70%;" /></a>
				
				<p>In the new window, choose the document with the still image as a destination. Confirm with OK button.</p>
				
				<h3>Move the GIF to the right spot</h3>
				
				<p>Switch to the panel ("tab") with a still image. You will see your GIF in the top left corner. Now, click and drag it to a new position (notice, that all layers of the animation are still highlighted, so you are moving all frames at the same time).</p>
				
				<p>You can even use <a href="../../learn/free-transform.html">Free Transform</a> to make the GIF larger / smaller, or rotate it, etc.</p>
				
				<a href="https://i.imgur.com/qAbuyCT.png"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/qAbuyCT.png" style="width:60%" /></a>
				
				<p>Now, press File - Export As - GIF, and ... a new animation is ready! Hit Save to save it :)</p>
